Pulling power weakens significantly with every mm of distance. Note that every additional insulation layer (e.g., dirt, varnish, rust) noticeably diminishes the holding power. Magnets operate most effectively in perfect adhesion; distance drastically cuts the force. See how rapidly the pull force fall, when the product does not adhere directly to the steel surface. When planning the arrangement, eliminate redundant distances.

The table below shows the estimated shear load needed to start the downward movement of the magnet down along a upright steel plate (considering standard friction coefficient). The holding force is a function of the air gap between the magnet and the surface.

Table 3: Wall mounting (shearing) - behavior on slippery surfaces
MPL 20x3x2 / N38

Surface type	Friction coefficient / % Mocy	Max load (kg/lbs/g/N)
Raw steel	µ = 0.3 30% Nominalnej Siły	0.70 kg / 1.54 lbs 699.0 g / 6.9 N
Painted steel (standard)	µ = 0.2 20% Nominalnej Siły	0.47 kg / 1.03 lbs 466.0 g / 4.6 N
Oily/slippery steel	µ = 0.1 10% Nominalnej Siły	0.23 kg / 0.51 lbs 233.0 g / 2.3 N
Magnet with anti-slip rubber	µ = 0.5 50% Nominalnej Siły	1.17 kg / 2.57 lbs 1165.0 g / 11.4 N

When hanging a magnet on a upright surface (e.g., a car body), it you can count on just about 1/5 of its maximum pull force. Gravity as well as a low friction coefficient influence the fact that magnets slide down easier than they pull off. Designing a hanger? Consider that the shear force is significantly lower than the maximum static pull force. On a painted metal, the holder will slide down under a noticeably lighter weight. Application of an anti-slip layer can significantly increase the grip.

12 mm	100%	2.33 kg / 5.14 lbs 2330.0 g / 22.9 N

A thin metal plate is not enough to absorb the entire magnetic field, which weakens actual performance of the holder. Should you mount a strong magnet to a thin surface, the magnetism will penetrate right through and the holding will be smaller. To achieve full efficiency of this neodymium's power, you require a sufficiently solid backing of steel. The saturation effect causes that on thin elements (e.g., appliance housings), the product holds weaker. We advise picking the steel thickness based on the following data.

Standard neodymium magnets irreversibly lose power past the thermal threshold. Watch out for overheating – heat can permanently demagnetize this product. With every degree above norm, the neodymium's power momentarily decreases. Do not use this product in hot environments higher than its operating temperature limit. Exceeding the critical threshold will result in permanent loss of magnetism.

*Engineering note: Thermal stability depends not only on the material grade, and the Permeance Coefficient Pc. Low-profile magnets (low Pc) risk losing magnetic properties under lower heat stress than taller cylinders. Red status in the table signals a risk of irreversible loss for this particular item.

Two magnetic products attract each other from a much further distance than a neodymium and metal setup. Such a system of two magnets generates a stronger field and a larger range of action. Planning to create a solid fastener? Utilize two neodymiums instead of one magnet and a steel. Be careful that when attracting two neodymiums, the pinch force is extreme. The repulsion force is marginally weaker than the connection force, but still significant.
*Field value in repulsion mode drops to ~0 Gs in the exact middle between the magnets (due to field cancellation).
Attention: Calculations refer to sliding force of two identical neodymium magnets (friction coefficient ~0.15 for Ni-Ni layer).

Powerful magnet radiation is a large risk to electronics and medical implants. These magnets generate a field that destroys function of digital equipment. Notice: the invisible magnetic field passes through tissues and glass. Exceptional care must be taken by people with hearing aids and insulin pumps. Influence will be felt by: mechanical watches, car keys, membranes, and screens. Do not bring the product near payment cards, HDD media, or precise measuring instruments.

Table 8: Dynamics (cracking risk) - collision effects

Neodymium magnets are very brittle – a strong collision with metal causes immediate chipping. Control the attraction moment – a neodymium left loose becomes dangerous. Impact energy can destroy the magnet or injury to fingers. Hold the magnet firmly during bringing near metal so it doesn't hit with great force against the steel surface. A contact at a velocity of dozens of km/h means shattering of the neodymium. Use safety goggles when handling with large magnets.

Corrosion warning: This magnet has a standard nickel coating. After use in water, it must be dried and maintained immediately, otherwise it will rust!

Contrary to myths, water does not block the magnetic field. Note: for permanent underwater work, we recommend magnets with an anti-corrosive (epoxy) coating.

1. Wall mount (shear)

*Note: On a vertical wall, the magnet retains just approx. 20-30% of its nominal pull.

2. Plate thickness effect

*Thin metal sheet (e.g. computer case) severely reduces the holding force.

3. Power loss vs temp

*For standard magnets, the critical limit is 80°C.

4. Demagnetization curve and operating point (B-H)

chart generated for the permeance coefficient P_c (Permeance Coefficient) = 0.32

This simulation demonstrates the magnetic stability of the selected magnet under specific geometric conditions. The solid red line represents the demagnetization curve (material potential), while the dashed blue line is the load line based on the magnet's geometry. The P_c (Permeance Coefficient), also known as the load line slope, is a dimensionless value that describes the relationship between the magnet's shape and its magnetic stability. The intersection of these two lines (the black dot) is the operating point — it determines the actual magnetic flux density generated by the magnet in this specific configuration. A higher P_c value means the magnet is more 'slender' (tall relative to its area), resulting in a higher operating point and better resistance to irreversible demagnetization caused by external fields or temperature. A value of 0.42 is relatively low (typical for flat magnets), meaning the operating point is closer to the 'knee' of the curve — caution is advised when operating at temperatures near the maximum limit to avoid strength loss.

This product is an extremely strong magnet in the shape of a plate made of NdFeB material, which, with dimensions of 20x3x2 mm and a weight of 0.9 g, guarantees premium class connection. As a block magnet with high power (approx. 2.33 kg), this product is available immediately from our warehouse in Poland. Furthermore, its Ni-Cu-Ni coating protects it against corrosion in standard operating conditions, giving it an aesthetic appearance.

The key to success is sliding the magnets along their largest connection plane (using e.g., the edge of a table), which is easier than trying to tear them apart directly. Watch your fingers! Magnets with a force of 2.33 kg can pinch very hard and cause hematomas. Using a screwdriver risks destroying the coating and permanently cracking the magnet.

They constitute a key element in the production of wind generators and material handling systems. Thanks to the flat surface and high force (approx. 2.33 kg), they are ideal as closers in furniture making and mounting elements in automation. Their rectangular shape facilitates precise gluing into milled sockets in wood or plastic.

For mounting flat magnets MPL 20x3x2 / N38, it is best to use strong epoxy glues (e.g., UHU Endfest, Distal), which ensure a durable bond with metal or plastic. For lighter applications or mounting on smooth surfaces, branded foam tape (e.g., 3M VHB) will work, provided the surface is perfectly degreased. Remember to roughen and wash the magnet surface before gluing, which significantly increases the adhesion of the glue to the nickel coating.

The magnetic axis runs through the shortest dimension, which is typical for gripper magnets. Thanks to this, it works best when "sticking" to sheet metal or another magnet with a large surface area. This is the most popular configuration for block magnets used in separators and holders.

This model is characterized by dimensions 20x3x2 mm, which, at a weight of 0.9 g, makes it an element with impressive energy density. It is a magnetic block with dimensions 20x3x2 mm and a self-weight of 0.9 g, ready to work at temperatures up to 80°C. The protective [NiCuNi] coating secures the magnet against corrosion.

Advantages and disadvantages of neodymium magnets.

Pros

Besides their high retention, neodymium magnets are valued for these benefits:

They do not lose magnetism, even during nearly ten years – the drop in power is only ~1% (according to tests),
They show high resistance to demagnetization induced by external field influence,
By applying a decorative layer of nickel, the element has an professional look,
Magnets are distinguished by very high magnetic induction on the working surface,
Through (appropriate) combination of ingredients, they can achieve high thermal resistance, allowing for functioning at temperatures reaching 230°C and above...
Thanks to modularity in forming and the ability to adapt to unusual requirements,
Huge importance in modern industrial fields – they serve a role in magnetic memories, motor assemblies, medical devices, as well as technologically advanced constructions.
Compactness – despite small sizes they generate large force, making them ideal for precision applications

Cons

Characteristics of disadvantages of neodymium magnets and ways of using them

To avoid cracks upon strong impacts, we suggest using special steel holders. Such a solution protects the magnet and simultaneously increases its durability.
NdFeB magnets demagnetize when exposed to high temperatures. After reaching 80°C, many of them experience permanent weakening of power (a factor is the shape as well as dimensions of the magnet). We offer magnets specially adapted to work at temperatures up to 230°C marked [AH], which are extremely resistant to heat
When exposed to humidity, magnets start to rust. To use them in conditions outside, it is recommended to use protective magnets, such as those in rubber or plastics, which secure oxidation and corrosion.
Due to limitations in realizing threads and complex shapes in magnets, we propose using casing - magnetic mount.
Possible danger resulting from small fragments of magnets pose a threat, if swallowed, which becomes key in the context of child safety. Furthermore, small elements of these devices can disrupt the diagnostic process medical after entering the body.
Higher cost of purchase is one of the disadvantages compared to ceramic magnets, especially in budget applications

Holding force characteristics

Maximum magnetic pulling force – what it depends on?

Information about lifting capacity was defined for the most favorable conditions, including:

with the contact of a yoke made of low-carbon steel, ensuring full magnetic saturation
whose thickness reaches at least 10 mm
with an ground touching surface
under conditions of gap-free contact (metal-to-metal)
during detachment in a direction vertical to the plane
in temp. approx. 20°C

Lifting capacity in practice – influencing factors

During everyday use, the actual lifting capacity results from several key aspects, ranked from the most important:

Distance – existence of foreign body (rust, dirt, gap) interrupts the magnetic circuit, which reduces power steeply (even by 50% at 0.5 mm).
Force direction – catalog parameter refers to pulling vertically. When applying parallel force, the magnet holds significantly lower power (typically approx. 20-30% of nominal force).
Base massiveness – insufficiently thick steel causes magnetic saturation, causing part of the power to be escaped to the other side.
Material type – the best choice is pure iron steel. Stainless steels may attract less.
Smoothness – ideal contact is possible only on polished steel. Any scratches and bumps create air cushions, weakening the magnet.
Temperature influence – high temperature reduces pulling force. Too high temperature can permanently demagnetize the magnet.

Lifting capacity testing was performed on plates with a smooth surface of optimal thickness, under a perpendicular pulling force, whereas under parallel forces the holding force is lower. In addition, even a slight gap between the magnet’s surface and the plate lowers the holding force.

Warnings

Do not overheat magnets

Monitor thermal conditions. Exposing the magnet to high heat will destroy its properties and pulling force.

Pinching danger

Risk of injury: The attraction force is so immense that it can cause blood blisters, crushing, and even bone fractures. Protective gloves are recommended.

GPS and phone interference

A powerful magnetic field disrupts the operation of magnetometers in smartphones and navigation systems. Do not bring magnets near a smartphone to avoid breaking the sensors.

Magnets are brittle

Despite the nickel coating, neodymium is brittle and cannot withstand shocks. Avoid impacts, as the magnet may shatter into sharp, dangerous pieces.

No play value

Adult use only. Small elements pose a choking risk, causing severe trauma. Keep away from children and animals.

Respect the power

Before use, read the rules. Uncontrolled attraction can break the magnet or injure your hand. Think ahead.

Sensitization to coating

Studies show that the nickel plating (the usual finish) is a strong allergen. If you have an allergy, avoid touching magnets with bare hands or select coated magnets.

Pacemakers

For implant holders: Strong magnetic fields affect electronics. Keep at least 30 cm distance or ask another person to work with the magnets.

Combustion hazard

Powder produced during machining of magnets is self-igniting. Do not drill into magnets unless you are an expert.

Cards and drives

Avoid bringing magnets near a wallet, laptop, or screen. The magnetic field can permanently damage these devices and erase data from cards.
